Post Malone, Ariana Grande lead 2019 American Music Awards Nominations

The 2019 American Music Awards nominations have been announced and American singers Post Malone, Ariana Grande, and Billie Eilish are leading the awards with 7, 6 and 6 nominations, respectively.

The 17-year-old Eilish is also contesting new artist of the year award against Luke Combs, Lil Nas X, Lizzo and Ella Mai," reported Billboard.

While Malone and Grande will be contending for the biggest title of the night, that is the artist of the year award.

They will also be facing tough competitions from artiste including Halsey, Drake and Taylor Swift.

The 'Love story' crooner holds the maximum win (four) in the category and she is also close to surpassing legendary Michael Jackson's record for most AMAs of all time. But this is only possible if Swift wins two of the five categories she's nominated in.

The 2019 American Music Awards will have its live telecast from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on November 24.
